I wonder if someone can get the N400 petition and say they have been in the US if they only cross every now and then but actually live near the border on the Mexican side. I guess immigration has ways to track people but I feel like there are too many people to keep track of if they don't bother to scan your IDs 😅

Yeah it's weird why they don't check. I know people from mexico who live in mexico with a GC because they do not check and even cross daily to work in the US, it's kind of crazy how they get away with it

I used to think MX would check every once in a while but nope, I've been crossing every month or every other month except during the pandemic and I have never had any documents scanned

I'm not from Mexico, I just have friends and family there. I understand I'm the one who has to prove I was in the US but I always found it interesting that they do not check when you leave the US.

So I've been crossing the US MX border every month to visit MX for less than a day or for the weekend for years. The MX border by land never checks anything, I've never been asked to show my ID when I cross into mexico. How does the Mexican immigration know when I have left the country (I mean they know when I cross back to the USA since they check my Green Card) if I for example, overstayed? And viceversa, how does the US immigration know how long I have been gone for? I'm guessing they just assume I was there for a day or two since I have a job and everything in the US and pay taxes but if they want to be so strict about giving a US citizenship to immigrants, shouldn't they enforce or check who is leaving the country even by land? I'm guessing in Canada they do check when you leave to Canada.
